Deformation characteristics test and mechanism of arbor taproot soil complex in rainforests

Abstract: This study performed large-scale single shear tests on Haikou red clay and arbor taproot to explore the anti-sliding effect and deformation characteristics of rainforest arbor roots under a shallow landslide. The law of root deformation and the root–soil interaction mechanism were revealed. The results indicated the significant reinforcing effect of arbor roots on the shear strength and ductility of soil, which increased with the decrease of normal stress. The soil reinforcement mechanism of arbor roots was at… Show more

“…Prior research confirms that root-soil interactions can enhance soil shear strength [11,12]. Therefore, an in-depth exploration of herbaceous plant root-soil interactions in mountainous zones is warranted to establish a scientific foundation for enhancing slope stability and preventing soil erosion [13][14][15]. Herbaceous vegetation ecoslope protection technology presents an economically and environmentally viable method for soil reinforcement and aligns with sustainability principles.…”
